Moral Relativity

The Democrats are proving once again their moral relativism. When it comes to Iraq, a new, more conservative mindset hits the liberals. Suddenly they're worried about the money. How much money are we spending? How much more money will it take? Where is the money being spent? Who is getting the money? How much money is being wasted?

They're also concerned about goals and timelines. When will we know we've won? What is our timeline for finishing the job?

And they're suddenly concerned with personal responsibility. 'We have to make the Iraqis take responsibility for their own country.' 'We can't do the job for them.' 'They have to want their freedom.'

Imagine if we could get the democrats to have this kind of an attitude on their pet issues. How much fraud and waste occur in welfare handouts, medicaid, and foodstamps? Who are the recipients of this money? Are they drug addicts looking to sell their foodstamps for some drug money? How much money are these programs costing us? What kind of a timeline are we giving these people to take responsibility for their own lives?

The moral relativism is glaring; it's just too bad no one in the media will actually make them answer for it.
